Fun time in Kurseong

Kurseong Nov. 8: The Kurseong Carnival kicked off at Eagles Craig here today.

Inaugurated by Reverend Father J.M. Abraham, the ceremony was attended by the Kurseong subdivisional officer B. Dasgupta, chairman of Kurseong Municipality P. C. Agarwal and executive councillors of DGHC N.B. Khawas and Nimcheki Pradhan, among others.

`I have always considered Kurseong my hometown though I was born in Canada. This place has all the potential of becoming a tourist-friendly destination,` said Father Abraham.

`The aim and purpose of Darjeeling Carnival is different from the one being held here despite the fact that it is being organised by the same group. Their (Darjeeling) aim is to bring back the past glory of the place. But our purpose is to portray the town as a prospective tourist destination and revive the socio-economic condition that has deteriorated over the past few years,` said N.B. Khawas, the executive councillor.

According to Khawas, though the fest has been organised at short notice, the efforts of the civic body and the organisers were noteworthy. He, however, stressed the need for public participation. `Unlike Darjeeling, where youths have take the initiative to restore the past glory of the town, more public participation is needed in this part of the hills,` Khawas said.

Inter-school art competition, cultural events, baby show, longest hair competition and musical extravaganzas were held on the first day. A seminar, on `How to uplift the socio economic condition of Kurseong`, has been lined up for the carnival.
